This lady is our neighbor in the same compound as us.  She lives next to the missionaries, and you can see their apt in the background.   She is the grandmother of the little girl.  The grandmas name is Christie, She just had her 60th bday and all 4 of her kids came ti celebrate with her.  The little girl is Nefia, she is madelyn's age.  They are really nice and friendly.  We took a video of her pounding foo foo but we can't get it to download.  We will try it again or at least put a picture on of  them making it.

 Here is an example of one of the small stores which are all over Ghana.  This one we thought was interesting because of the name.  Berlmen's Supermarket.  It does not include the big building behind it just the small 10 foot by 15 foot building is the supermarket.  They don't have much variety just a few items so you have to go all around town to each shop to fill your shopping list.   

 I found this old hit and miss motor out in the bush one day and they haven't been using it for a long time.   I think they used it to power a grinder.   It would have been connected to the grinder with a 4 inch belt.   I really wish I could fit this in my suit case because I could restore it and it would be worth a considerable amount of money.   But with a 50 lb weight limit per suitcase there is no way.  

These kids also live by us with Christie.  Nefia, Madelyn's age,Akria, Presley's age, and Roland, Parker's age.  Roland is a grandson to Christie, but his mother doesn't live here, and Akria is Christie's brother's girl.  They always ask if you kids will be coming over to play with them.  Sometimes I read with them, they love it.  I have the illustrated Book Of Mormon and they are really interested in it.  They belong to the Pentecost church.  They also love to play "pease porridge hot" and anything else I can come up with.   There is also the grandpa, Daniel, and the son Emmanuel and his wife Esther, they are the parents of Nefia and a baby boy Kaleb who is about 2 months old.
